Shift Alum
Clem received his PhD in Sociology from Harvard University. In the summer of 2026, he will join MIT Sloan as an assistant professor of Work and Organizations. His research focuses on how the organization of work affects inequality and precarity. His projects deal with widening disparities between workplaces, employment instability at subcontractors, and the historical development of racial economic inequality. Clem works mostly with American and French administrative data — both contemporary and historical — and is interested in the quantitative methods used to understand economic and social life. He received bachelor’s degrees in math and sociology from Brown University.
